Chapter 81
Isabella's POV
I woke up feeling exhausted and tired. Yesterday was a total bust, as I still felt so weak from my encounter with Xander. The events of yesterday kept on playing in my mind, as Xander's words were the only thing I could think of.
I was no longer his marked woman, I was officially free, freedom was what I wanted from the very first day the Draco claimed me as his and now that I have it, I really did not know how to feel about it.
Reluctantly, I got up from my bed. As I made my way to the bathroom, I needed someone to talk to, and it was only Mia who could understand what I was going through.
So I took a shower and got dressed. I picked up my bag and made my way downstairs.
I was on my way out when Mary stopped me.
'' Where are you going so early in the morning,'' Mary asked.
'' I need to leave this

Isabella POV ''Are you sure about this,'' Mia asked. '' Yes, it is what is best for both of us. We are from two different worlds, Mia. Two worlds that will never collide,'' I answered. '' Okay, if you say so, at least you have Manny, and I am sure he is good,'' Mia said as she looked at me, so intensely, as if she was trying to decipher my thoughts. '' Yeah he is, he is wonderful,'' I smiled and said. '' That is great, then you should be happy,' Mia let out. And her question caused chaos in my heart, as I asked myself one question. '' Was I truly happy? I searched my heart for the answer to my question, but I couldn't find one. '' Don't overthink it, Isabella, of course, you are happy with Manny,' The voices in my head said to me, as it convinced me that I was only overthinking things. '' Of course Mia, I am happy,' I said and Mia smiled. ''Then that is all that matters,'' Mia said. We were still talking, trying to catch up when Aiden walked in. '' I have all the necessar

Xander's POV What I am currently feeling can not be expressed in words, it felt like I had lost the biggest battle of all.Bella, my very own Bella, hated me, and that was a feeling that inflicted more pain than any bullet could ever do.She knew all that I did in the quest to get her, and it still baffles me how she found out.But that was not important now, because I had truly lost her for good.A thousand and one feelings were churning deep inside me, some were of remorse, while some were of pure anger.I hated that I allowed myself to be used by that word called love, I hated that I allowed myself to be so vulnerable to Bella, and yet she couldn't even bring herself to choose me.I am the Draco, the most dangerous man in this city. People tremble at the mention of my name, but all that was gone when it came to her. I couldn't even claim her as mine, and this was new to me because, as the Draco, I always got what I wanted.''No. This has to change. I have to stop feeling this way

Xander's POV''What did you do? You just killed him,'' I yelled in anger.I was livid. I was covered in another man's blood. I could not understand what was going on. My cousin Xavier had just killed the only witness I had in my quest to find out who the thief was.'' Why did you do that,'' I rushed to my cousin, pointing a gun at his head.But my cousin didn't say a word, he just kept on looking at me.'' Speak! or have you gone deaf? Why did you kill him,'' I yelled, asking.'' You were holding back, cousin, it was so not like you, so I had to do something so that your men would not think that you are weak,'' Xavier said softly, and strangely with remorse in his eyes.'' I didn't ask for it, Xavier, he was about to say something, you might have just killed an innocent man,'' I yelled.'' I am sorry cousin, I was only protecting your honour,'' Xavier said softly.Groaning out, I yelled at the top of my lungs, as the anger I felt consumed me.Not knowing what to make of this, I storme

Xander POVI thought getting back my dominance and control was going to make me feel better. I thought claiming even a replica of her was going to make everything alright, but trust me, it didn't.'' Would I see you again, Draco,'' the girl asked.'' Don't count on it,'' I answered as I stood up, got dressed and walked out.And I walked out leaving there even more broken than I was before.'' Take me back home,'' I told my driver as I got into the car.Soon, I was taken back to the house.Getting into the house, all I wanted to do was to lay on my bed and sleep, just to forget about what I stupidly did today.So on my way up, I heard her call out to me.Isabella...

Isabella's POV''Today was Xander's wedding, and I didn't know how to feel about that. God, all these feelings are just so confusing,'' I said to myself as I tossed and turned in bed, as I didn't sleep a wink last night.I didn't want to be there when it happened, but Xander wouldn't just allow me to go. And now I am stuck here until the wedding is over.''Maybe if I stayed in my room all day, I could avoid all the bustling about the event,'' I said to myself.But luck was not on my side because I soon heard a knock on my door.Groaning loudly, I didn't want to open it, but the knocking became even more persistent, so I knew I had to get it before people thought that I was dead.Walking up to the door, I opened it and Manny was there standing in front of me with a dress in his hand and a plate of food in the other.Looking at him, I wondered how he was able to carry all of it without any of it falling off.'' Hey my love,'' Manny greeted me as he walked in.'' Hey what is all of this,

Xander's POVMy dad walked me outside to where the event was taking place, and as I took in the cool breeze of the afternoon, it helped me recollect my thoughts.''Let's get this over with,'' I turned to my father, and he nodded.I walked into the event and everyone's eyes were on me, they looked surprised that I came.'' Relax everyone, I am sorry I am late,'' I said as my eyes hovered over the crowd until they landed on Bella.Our gaze locked for a second, and for the first time, I was the one who broke it, as I shifted my focus to Ruby, kissing her softly.'' Why don't we get married,'' I whispered and Ruby smiled and nodded her head.I turned to the priest, signalling for him to get started with the ceremony.'' Dearly beloved, We are all here to witness the joining of two souls in love, a love that is greater than anything else in this world. So with that, I ask you, Miss Ruby Stones, do you love Xander Diaz enough to take him as your husband,'' The priest said and she nodded. '

Isabella's POV As Xander walked in, he immediately became the centre of attention now, but even with all the preying eyes on him, his eyes didn't waver from me, but for the first time I didn't see that longing he always had in his eyes for me, or maybe it was there and Xander just did a good job, masking it. Because, for the first time, Xander was the one who broke our gaze as he focused on his wife-to-be. I subdued the unwanted feeling I was having inside of me as I kept on telling myself that this was what I wanted. The ceremony soon started, and the priest commenced with the martial rights, but when Xander was asked if he loved Ruby enough to take her as his wife. Xander couldn't speak and to heaven, I thought he was going to say No. Xander tried to get his words out, but that was when we heard a big explosion, and it was no one else but Javier. Seeing the scary man again sent down my spine, as I tried to hide so he would see me. but luck was not on my side because Javier gra

Xander's POV All through the car ride back to the house, I couldn't take my eyes off her. I hated seeing her, so scared and traumatized. And all this was my fault. She didn't ask for any of this, but I stupidly brought her into this messed up life of mine. I did this to her, I subjected her to a life of violence, not even considering how it would affect her. '' I wish there was a way to fix this,'' I said to myself. But I couldn't think of one that would keep her safe, because letting her go now was out of the question. It doesn't matter if she was no longer my marked woman, my enemies now know that she is important to me, so they will always use her to get to me. And I can't let that happen. Getting to the house, I helped her down from the car. And when we got inside, Manny ran up to us hugging her, and that reminded me that she belonged to someone else now. '' Thank you for bringing her back,'' Manny said to me. '' I told you I would, didn't I?'' I let out as I tried to ignor
